The Putco BOSS Headache Rack is a premium cab guard engineered for work trucks, contractors, and fleets that demand long-lasting performance. Inspired by the classic expanded-metal headache rack, it is reimagined in lighter, stronger 6061-T6 aluminum. This perforated metal cab rack installs fast and easily thanks to the no-drill design that mounts securely to stake pockets. Finished in OE-style textured matte black powder coat, for lasting corrosion resistance and a rugged look built for years of tough use.

Designed for max versatility, the BOSS Rack is fully compatible with all inside-rail tonneau covers and most bed-mounted toolboxes, making it an ideal upgrade. Integrated tie-down points on both sides maintain the functionality of your trucks stake pockets, providing a 250 lb. working load limit at each tie-down point for securing cargo. With dual T-channel slots on the sides and top, it is easy to mount accessories such as LED light bars, strobes, work lights, beacons, and cargo. It also seamlessly integrates Putco lighting systems, including Blade LED Light Bars in the side channels and Hornet LED Strobe Bars in the T-slots.

Every BOSS Rack is precision-crafted using CNC 7-axis bending technology to follow the contour of your truck cab, ensuring a clean, custom fit. More than a traditional cab guard design, the CNC-milled plate provides full rear window protection, combining precise detailing with a clean, premium finish that reinforces both durability and appearance. It stands out with a direct-fit third brake light cut-out. Meticulously designed to ensure zero obstruction, a design detail that highlights our commitment to superior rear window protection.

Backed by Putcos 3-year and NeverRust Lifetime Warranty, this aluminum cab guard delivers best-in-class durability, protection, and design. Proudly designed and manufactured in the USA, it is the ultimate heavy-duty headache rack built to outperform, outlast, and outfit any modern truck.
